President Joe Biden designated Friday, May 7th, 2021, as Military Spouse Appreciation Day.
The entire month of May is Military Appreciation Month but on Military Spouse Appreciation Day, we recognize and thank the military spouses who "serve and sacrifice alongside their service members and keep our military strong."
